Our ankle and foot are a few of the most important structures that help us move and play various kinds of sports. Whether you are a pro at soccer or you like slam dunking a basketball, our feet and ankle are the ultimate structures that bear the weight. Even seemingly easier tasks like maintaining a yoga pose or dancing would be impossible to do without support from the foot and ankle. These structures absorb the shock and allow you to perform high-impact activities without any trouble.
So what happens when there is an injury? It limits you from participating in these activities that you enjoy. Soccer, basketball, hiking, hockey, etc all become out of your reach since you are in pain and can’t perform your best.

TYPES OF SPORTS INJURIES
Our podiatrists are trained with all types of sports injuries that could happen. We have treated multiple athletes and countless sports-related injuries to ankles and feet. We are more than capable to assess, diagnose, and treat our patients with full knowledge of the risks pertaining to the injuries. Some of the common sports injuries we treat include:
ANKLE FRACTURES
Oftentimes an ankle sprain will actually be an ankle fracture. Therefore whenever you have an ankle injury it is best to get it assessed by a podiatrist so you can know for sure. If there is a fracture present you will have trouble putting weight on that foot and will feel a lot of pain when doing so. Although features can be caused by anything, they are extremely common when athletes abruptly increase their training time.
ANKLE SPRAINS
These are one of the most common types of ankle injuries and are especially common in athletes that play sports like soccer or hockey since there is a lot of twisting and bending which is one of the main causes of ankle sprains. If a sprain does not heal properly or is not treated properly it can lead to further issues with movement and gait so it is advised that you get a sprained ankle checked by a podiatrist as soon as possible.
OVERUSE INJURIES
Overuse injuries are very common in both athletes and normal people who overexert themselves. These types of injuries encompass a lot of other injuries such as sprains, tendonitis, stress fractures in athletes.
TYPES OF
OVERUSE INJURIES
While there are many types of overuse injuries some of the more commonly known are:
ACHILLES TENDONITIS
This type of injury is common in athletes that perform high-impact activities and also in weekend warriors. It can also happen if you have had a previous foot injury as it puts you at a higher risk than other people. There are a lot more factors that come into play however they are most common in people with an active lifestyle.
